I know you mentioned in an earlier post that you have "limits" to the distance you like to do, so before you ride Bethpage, check out the updated Bethpage ride description on the Long Island page of my website at nyrides.freehosting.net . I've tried to break it down for the benefit of people who won't want to ride the entire length of the bikeway, which was recently extended from Bethpage State Park to Woodbury. I'd say the first time you ride it, start at Sunrise Highway in Massapequa and ride north.
